WHAT WE WILL DO THIS WINTER

We need your help to deliver a warming and nurturing winter season 2026.

We are fundraising to run our emergency shelter and get hot food, support and supplies out to the community over winter 2026. Can you help?

Winter 2026 at Museum of Homelessness will be a winter of community action which includes gardening, art, plenty of good food and supplies, an emergency cold weather shelter, a festive dog show, radical archiving, Christmas Extravaganza, sober wassailing, film club and more. You can find out more about our winter programme here

We will be getting thousands of socks, sleeping bags, handwarmers and more to the streets.

We will be continuing our emergency housing fund with Haringey Welcome which provides first month rent and deposit to prevent street homelessness.

The Winter Appeal will be used to fund food, emergency shelter, respite accommodation and supplies.

Last year the museum provided 4012 hot community meals

And 111 warm beds for community members over the winter.

We piloted the world’s first emergency shelter inside a museum in 2024. Our shelter has been featured in Housing Justice and Homeless Link best practice trauma informed shelter guidance. People experiencing homelessness helped us design and tweak how the shelter ran. We will be running the shelter again this winter, when SWEP is called in London.

We also hosted 45 people for Christmas Day with all the trimmings and a big Boxing day brunch.

If you have been to the museum and seen our tiny kitchen you will know this was a Christmas miracle. Thanks to our amazing volunteers who made it happen.

This season will be even more busy. As all forms of homelessness are at record highs & the crisis continues, more support is needed than ever. Please consider donating and if you can't donate, no worries, please share the campaign with someone else.

Thank you so much, MoH Crew X
